Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that partner Ann Marie Mortimer has been named to the 2023 Leaders of Influence: Top Litigators & Trial Lawyers list by the Los Angeles Business Journal. This is her fifth consecutive year to be included.

The list recognizes litigators chosen by the Los Angeles Business Journal as “lawyers who go to the proverbial mat to fight for their clients before judges and jury [and] have their own unique set of skills.” Their work, dedication, and the overall firm success were all benchmarks in determining the honorees.

Head of the firm’s commercial litigation practice and founder and managing partner of the Los Angeles office, Mortimer is well-versed in advising high-profile clients on challenging class action, complex commercial and data breach cases. She was the lead lawyer defending an internet service provider in a class action lawsuit that has been deemed the largest data breach in history and was featured as lead counsel on one of the Daily Journal’s Top Defense Verdicts in California for her representation of one of the largest American multinational big box retailers in a class action lawsuit involving an alleged data privacy breach and its precedent-setting decision was one of the first dismissals of a California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) claim on the merits. Mortimer’s leadership in cybersecurity litigation extends to model leadership within her firm and the community as one of only a handful of female office managing partners in California and a member of the firm’s executive committee.
